[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have taken our kid on long flights multiple times. If they are in the bassinet weight limit, then get that, so much easier to sleep. Just be sure to but the belt on so he doesn't wake up and jump out, and also for safety during turbulence. Carry a lot of snacks, you said the kid doesn't do TV - is that because you don't allow or he doesn't like? Either way, it's the easiest way to keep them entertained on a flight. So maybe rethink that one? Pack multiple small toys. I try to tire my kid out at the airport before we get on the flight and try to nurse to sleep just as we are taking off. I also used to make her sit on the tray table so we could look at each other and play for a bit. We also took a few walks in aisle when safe. [/quote] OP here. We aren't opposed to TV, but don't watch it on weekdays. We are getting a 2nd Ipad and I'll try to find shows he likes and give it to him during short car trips before the flight. And headphones that he won't fight me on... [/quote] At 18 mo, my DD got a kick out of the CozyPhones https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EX1E2GO?tag=rvwtbrn-20&linkCode=ogi&th=1 They are the furthest thing from durable, but she was happy to wear them. She also did't really need much sound, she just liked looking at the pictures, so I'd give her a kindle and no headphones with a few Daniel Tiger/Peppa Pig shows and have the volume extremely low. Sitting next to her, even I couldn't hear the show so you won't be disturbing anyone.[/quote]
